Variable have names, these names can consist of letters (english alphabet; upper and lower case), numbers and underscores (_). As a regex: [a-zA-Z0-9_]+

A variable can also be an array. To access an array, wrap the desired fieldname within [ and ]. A fieldname can be constructed of Text and othe Variables. So you can dynamically access fields: $foo[$bar]. These fieldnames can also be nested or concatenated: $foo[$bar[baz]][herp][$de[derp]]
